Ricoh, Kyocera or any other manufacturer develop a printer that rivals the HP when printing envelopes?My service department believes the HP does a better job because they use a fusing sleeve instead of a fusing roller which displaces the pressure more evenly with more surface area allowing the air to escape better. We are constantly striving to displace competitors' printers and spearhead print management. However, printers are very personal and most of the time if someone has a printer they print

How did our competition beat us to market with our new product? Knowing "Who" printed that document can give you an document trail to that person. It's not uncommon that companies can get fined for leaving confidential documents out in the open. It's also fact that trade, products secrets can printed and stolen. Fines can be eliminated and thieves can be prosecuted

Even though we ask, "are you entertaining any additional proposals ", there are times when "buyers are liars". Over the years, I would say ninety percent of those that have told me, no we're not entertaining any additional pricing, were true to their word. Recently, I had visited an existing account that has their copier for about 7 years. We went through the features, the pain points, and developed two proposals. One for the almost the same specifications and another for a somewhat smaller

The “New Math” For Managed PrintServices by Print Audit One of the difficulties I’ve always had with MPS as it is marketed today, is the apparent conflict of interest that exists between MPS providers and their customers, under the Cost-Per-Page (CPP) billing model. Let me first point out that CPP is not a requisite of MPS. In the Managed Services space generally, Cost-Per-User or per Seat billing is more common. Nevertheless, most of the businesses I encounter who provide MPS in North America

The benefits of both programs quickly gained in popularity, and swelled a grassroots movement to take the firm beyond remote access mobility. We predicted that we would see hard cost benefits from the cost savings in removing management of paper; we also expected the soft cost benefits of increased productivity. But we also knew that our major obstacle would be the significant percentage—almost 100 precent

Canons internal site does not have that machine on it anymore. Sometimes they have some legacy stuff but I guess not that far back. My guess is it probably scans around 60 pages per minute being a 55ppm machine. I saw one recently run before we took it out of a clients office and I'd be surprised if it was higher than 60 after seeing it run.
